Mixed pickles

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 kg vegetables (pickled gherkins, pearl onions, carrots, cauliflower, baby corn and peppers)
• Salt
• 500 ml vinegar (wine vinegar), mild
• 2 bay leaves
• Pepper and mustard seeds
• 2 sprigs of dill
• 2 sprigs of tarragon

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

For 2 jars, each holding 1 liter. Wash or peel and trim the vegetables. Slice the carrots, cut the cauliflower into florets, and cut the bell peppers into strips. Blanch the vegetables separately in salted water, then plunge into iced water and drain well. Then layer them in the well-cleaned jars. Bring the vinegar to a boil with 1/4 liter of water and the remaining ingredients. Pour the hot vinegar over the vegetables in the jars. The liquid should generously cover the vegetables and be about 1 centimeter high. Close the jars tightly and store in a cool place. Tip: The pickles will be more flavorful if you add a little sugar to the liquid. By cleverly combining different vegetables, you can achieve fantastic color effects with mixed pickles.
